It seemed apropos to celebrate not only #NationalChardonnayDay May 21st and #InternationalChardonnayDay May 27th with something a little bit beyond ordinary but at the same time classic.
So many different ideas on their website from hats to embroidered tote bags, t-shirts in different styles and colours, polo shirts, even sports jerseys and uniforms for the company team!
Château 2017 is the second vintage of a new trandition of Grand Vin. Aged 18 months in 50% new French oak. Unfined and unfiltered.
What makes the difference between a good soup and a great soup is the stock. The stock is the base of the soup and as such desires as much attention and acclaim as the finished dish.
Friday Pizza Night is a big deal in our house and along with a few favourite pizza toppings we always pair the pizza with a great wine.
The wine was the perfect accent for the Italian dish filled with yummy tomatoes and crispy bacon, enhanced with the tang of the arugula and made rich with fresh parmesan and al dente pasta.
I have been waiting for just the right dish to pair with the TIME Winery Viognier I received for a virtual tasting to celebrate Internation Women’s Day with a number of women wine bloggers and a few men included to mix things up a bit.
Winemaker’s CUT has partnered with VR bandit and Barb Wild and developed a dynamic photo-realistic and interactive online platform that looks and feels like the tasting room.
At the completion of the video tasting I posed the question about pairing the wines I had received. Specifically I wanted some suggestions about which dishes to pair with which wines.
The challenge was finding a recipe that fit, and turned out I went to an old standby that works for either family or company.
